sweltering heat
the ice popping
in the Kool-Aid


                                           raking the Zen garden
                                           at the beach house


vineyard verandah -
we sit listening
to the grapes grow


                                           virgin winter
                                           she wears white
                                           to bed


she draws violets
with purple pencils
in between her toes


                                            moss
                                            on redwood trunks -
                                            my son's new beard
